Wyckoff, NJ (PRWEB) June 26, 2013 The incidence of pre-diabetes has reached epidemic proportions in developed countries and is a precursor to Type 2 diabetes and it’s life-threatening complications. Alpha lipoic acid, the powerhouse natural substance, continues to be recognized as an effective means to ameliorate oxidative stress-induced insulin resistance. A great deal of recent [...]
read moreMethuselah Foundation Free radicals, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in particular, play an important part in aging. These are (usually small) molecules lacking an electron needed for stability; they will steal an electron from the first thing they bump into. Like pulling a cog out from clockwork, stealing an electron from a protein or enzyme [...]

And the reverse: how does overconsumption accelerate age-related disease? An answer lies in a two-part study led by Charles [...]

The research, just [...]
